Boston police investigate 2 deaths at Roslindale apartments

1 Cliffmont Street is Boston Housing Authority complex

Boston police were working to unravel the so far mysterious deaths of two men and the serious illness of a woman in a Boston Housing Authority apartment complex in Roslindale.

Police were trying to determine if something the three, who were all friends, consumed led to their deaths.

"We don't have anything leading us to believe that there was trauma or foul play, but we've got some unique circumstances that we want to investigate and see exactly what we have here," Superintendent-in-Chief Dan Linskey said.

One of the men, in his 60s, was found dead Wednesday morning by Boston EMS at the apartment complex at 1 Cliffmont St. after responding to a call about a person in cardiac arrest.

EMS returned to the complex Thursday morning and found a second man dead from apparently the same symptoms. A woman was also found with a life-threatening illness, also appearing to suffer the same symptoms, police said.
